Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/airwindows/airwindows/issues/58

Currently new source code is pushed to this GitHub repo, however there are no Versions or Releases and download is all or nothing.

I have a plugin installer which links to:
https://github.com/airwindows/airwindows/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

But this is a moving target, the file has changes over time, and plugins can be added/removed.

Use-cases

Install a specific version of a plugin
Validate the plugin installed matches an expected hash sha256
Browse versions and read release notes

GitHub provides these features and it is possible to automate the steps of a release:
https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/releasing-projects-on-github

It would be easy to have a GitHub workflow which publishes Linux, Mac, Windows versions of each plugin as a separate binary in a Release. For example Surge:
https://github.com/surge-synthesizer/releases-xt/releases

Thanks!

This would also help me as I maintain this package on nixpkgs.
